YINGHUA

YINGHUA USB 3.0 to RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter Silver

SKU CH-BA4V-A49D9

A USB 3.0 to RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet adapter with AX88179a chip for 10/100/1000Mbps wired networking on Mac and Windows

  • Gigabit wired speeds via USB 3.0 for fast, stable connections
  • Drive-free setup on Windows, macOS and Linux for instant use
  • Compact aluminium alloy body fits in any bag for travel
  • AX88179a chip delivers reliable 10/100/1000 Mbps performance
  • Works with laptops and tablets that lack a built-in Ethernet port

Purpose and Compatibility

The YINGHUA USB 3.0 to RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter adds a wired network port to laptops and tablets that lack one. It suits MacBook Air, Surface and ultrabook users needing a stable 10/100/1000M connection. The AX88179a chip enables driver-free operation on Windows XP through 10, Mac OS 10.4, Vista and Linux. It is not for buyers who want more than a single RJ45 port.

Thermals and Power

The aluminium-magnesium alloy casing acts as a passive heatsink for the AX88179a controller during sustained 1000BaseT traffic. Power is drawn entirely from the host USB 3.0 port, so no external supply is needed. The adapter runs silently because it has no moving parts. It is not for builders who need a second card for link aggregation or failover.

Bundled Benefits

The drive-free design means the adapter works immediately after plugging in on supported operating systems. A built-in indicator LED shows link status and activity at a glance. The compact, integrated form factor fits easily into a backpack or computer bag for travel. It is not for buyers who require bundled configuration software or advanced management utilities.

Questions about this item

How do I install the YINGHUA USB 3.0 to RJ45 adapter, and what step do people often miss?

Plug the USB 3.0 connector into your device and the RJ45 cable into the adapter. Most systems use the AX88179a chip for driver-free operation, but some Windows versions need a manual driver install.

What maintenance or replacement will this gigabit network card need later?

The aluminum-magnesium alloy casing and FR4 4-layer PCB are solid-state with no moving parts. No scheduled maintenance is required; replace the unit only if the USB 3.0 port or RJ45 jack physically fails.

What limit appears first when sustaining 1000BaseT full-duplex throughput?

The USB 3.0 host controller bandwidth and the AX88179a chip throughput set the ceiling. Cable quality at 1000M and host CPU load will bottleneck before the adapter itself.
